Homebrew PCBs

I was also curious how that would go. OK, I made a circuit, the PCB 
is all milled and drilled, I populated the PCB and it all works but 
not to well. Turns out I need to add anotehr IC because... whatever. 
I take that PCB under the dremel of my fancy PCB mill and position it 
wher I placed a dot. OK< ready, glasses on, let the V bit do it's 
expanding job!

Wow, that is a certainly a way to live the life!  An alternative 
would be to quickly TT another PCB, drill it with that PCB drill, 
just because I can, stuff it and put it on a standoff on the first 
PCB. The second method seems to be simpler FOR ME. Mike
